The ability of a television series to make adjustments is something you've got to take advantage of.

Cameron Crowe is someone who I've admired for so long, and I've been friends with him for many years, and I've wanted to work with him so badly that I just never stopped bothering him about writing a script that would be for a pilot.

Making movies was more a reaction to not being chosen for sports. Other kids were out there playing at whatever; I was off making something blow up and filming it, or making a mould of my sister's head using alginating plaster.

I think you have a passion and an obsession for something when it's not necessarily ubiquitous.

I try to work on shows that I would want to watch.

I have nothing against 3-D in theory. But I've also never run to the movies because something's in 3-D.

I hope to make movies that are so small they don't need to make anything to be profitable.
